Senate Democrats preparing gun control package
(Worthy News) – Senate Democrats are preparing a legislative push to curb guns, a week after a mass shooting at an Oregon community college refocused attention on the nation’s toll of firearms deaths.
Republicans controlling Congress have shown scant interest in restricting guns and the Democratic effort has little chance of success. But their drive could keep the issue alive during next year’s elections and complicate Republican senators’ re-election campaigns in some closely divided states.
Democrats plan to eventually demand votes on their proposals and use procedural delays to thwart legislation if Republicans refuse to do so, a Democratic aide said Wednesday. The aide wasn’t authorized to discuss the plans publicly and requested anonymity. [ Source ]
